rt2x00usb: initialize the read value in case of failure

2015-03-16T16:05:56+00:00

My understanding ist that rt2x00usb_register_read() is void and so the
reader is unaware of read errors and assumes that whatever was on the
stack as it was about to read.

rt2x00: change REGISTER_TIMEOUT

2014-12-01T20:57:21+00:00

Waiting 500ms for register access is too long, decrease this value
to 100ms.

rt2x00: tune multi-registers I/O timeout

2014-10-27T18:16:13+00:00

We provide timeout value to rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff() based on
number of registers to process. That value is passed down to
rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock() and ends in usb_control_msg(). But we
do not read/write all registers in rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock() at
once. We read/write them in chunks of 64 bytes in the loop, hence passed
timeout value to low level is too big.

Patch removes timeout argument from rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff() and
use short REGISTER_TIMEOUT in rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock(). That
timeout value should be fine for 64 bytes and smaller requests. For
EEPROM read we introduced new timeout value equal to 2 seconds.

Patch fixes process uninterruptible sleep stalls for long period, when
USB bus has problem to satisfy a request and we wait very long time on
usb_start_wait_urb().

rt2800usb:fix efuse detection

2014-06-17T18:11:15+00:00

The device 057c:8501 (AVM Fritz! WLAN v2 rev. B) currently does not
load. One thing observed is that the vendors driver detects EFUSE mode
for this device, but rt2800usb does not. This is due to rt2800usb
lacking a check for the firmware mode present in the vendors driver,
that this patch adopts for rt2800usb.

With this patch applied, the 'RF chipset' detection does no longer fail.

rt2x00: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-11T15:56:19+00:00

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation
in the file header comment.  Resolve by replacing the address with
the URL  so that we do not have to keep
updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

rt2x00: Optimize TX_STA_FIFO register reading

2011-05-02T18:49:16+00:00

Add recycling functionality to rt2x00usb_register_read_async.
When the callback function returns true, resubmit the urb to
read the register again.

This optimizes the rt2800usb driver when multiple TX status reports
are pending in the register, because now we don't need to allocate
the rt2x00_async_read_data and urb structure each time.

rt2x00: Allow dynamic addition of PCI/USB IDs.

2011-04-19T19:39:45+00:00

Both USB and PCI drivers allow a system administrator to dynamically add
USB/PCI IDs to the device table that a driver supports via the
/sys/bus/{usb,pci,pci_express}/drivers//new_id files.

However, for the rt2x00 drivers using this method currently crashes the
system with a NULL pointer failure.

This is due to the set-up of rt2x00 where the probe functions require a
rt2x00_ops structure in the driver_info field of the probed device. As
this field is empty for the dynamically added devices this fails for
these devices.

Fix this by introducing driver-specific probe wrappers that do nothing
but calling the bus-specific probe functions with the rt2x00_ops structure
as an argument, rather than depending on the driver_info field.

rt2x00: Decrease association time for USB devices

2011-04-19T19:39:37+00:00

When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high
(for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds).

This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes
too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes
a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting
loops to the same maximum.

We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the
driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions
during the waiting for the queue to become empty.

After these changes, association times fall within the
healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled.
The difference between association time between powersaving
enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also
be due to the measuring method).
